Drafting a subject line
We have already spoken about the importance of the
subject line
to get a good
open rates
in our email marketing campaigns. Now we're going to explain how avoid mistakes when we write one.
Do not use capitals. Remember that are synonymous with "shouting" and show the recipient an unknowledge of the environment.
Do not use long lines. The usual limit is 50 characters. "Less is more."
Discard the exclamation and question marks.
Avoid terms like "free", "promotion", "supply", "gift" ...
Emphasize the most important information first. Compose the phrase prioritizing what you are going to write then in your email.
Regarding the subject line, be careful with:
-Allways use it. Draft it when you begin an e-mail marketing campaign.
-Make sure you say something really significant
-Be sure not to seems to be "
spam
"
-Be sure that it reflects all the content of your message and not only a part of it.
-Make sure that use descriptive terms that are identifiable.
Recalls that the subject line is the introduction of your e-mail marketing campaign. It can means that someone open your email or not... Take care of it
